Im grabbing a copy of this asap!
I have snagged 200+ NBS Public Domain disks (been a little bit obsessed looking for this obscure pd outfit) Maybe some of them are MIA / Rare? |

I'm not 100 % sure anymore what I did back then, but I'll try to remember.
You can download a Kindle reader for PC and I guess it's using the same account as Amazon. You should be able to find the book in C:\Users\YourName\My Kindle Content\ Maybe you'll have to download the book from the Amazon page first. |

Just wondering if the physical or pdf version of the book will be available anytime soon?
Also, is it possible to obtain the book outside of Amazon? (Long story but I closed my account with them a few months back). Thank you. |

>You can open the E-Book in calibre and convert it into a different format like EPUB or pdf.
Why not just make it available as a PDF in the first place? That Calibre you are talking about isn't even an Amiga program. |

Maybe because the PDF format is not friendly with e-ink readers and maybe because nowadays almost everybody owns a PC or has easy access to it.

Unlike the e-book which can be updated and re-download at no extra cost once the book is printed any errors are there for ever more so I want to get it as close to 100% perfect as possible. In terms of a pdf - I have emailed this to individual EAB members on the understanding it doesn't appear as a download on websites or widely distributed - If you PM me with an email address I will send you the current PDF version. |

I got my friend's mum to buy this as she has a Kindle and she wasn't aware that her son was featured (Renegades programmer), she was all proud that we'd made it into the book!
It's a brilliant book and I can't wait to get the physical edition. |

I have read the whole book, including interviews. If there is any future update / revision planned, it would be worth cheching for typos. There is a plenty of them, some even in game titles.
Anyway - very good reading, I enjoyed it. |

Hi, the book has been updated to version 1.4 - I have made the book free to purchase until this Sunday (23rd November).
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Ultimate.../dp/B00JVARFSU For those who bought the book on first release - apologies there were quite a few typos - the majority of these have now been corrected as a result of drafting the physical version and two new sections added - I have asked Amazon to send an update link to all existing customers - this is free to re-download the book but Amazon need to check that the changes are significant to warrant such action - this takes about 4 weeks. For new readers - if you like the book please make a donation to my Mencap justgiving page |

It's gone physical!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Gui...de+to+amiga+pd Looks like I'll have to re-open my Amazon account - ugh, oh well I'll give them one more chance. |

1991 relates to Amiga 500 - granted the Amiga range continued late into the 1990s perhaps I should have stated I was referring to Amiga 500 or been vague and put 1990s.
I can amend the book but each time I do that it is unavailable for purchase until it is corrected - which can take 5 working days to approve. |

I bought the e-book some weeks ago - and really like it! I found tons of games I never heard of before. But sometimes I missed the information, which system I need to play the game. Like, does it work on a "standard" A500 with 0,5/1MB RAM? How much ChipRAM is needed?
